You have the choice about how you feel when faced with challenges in your workouts, creating time for your meal plan or meal journal and your reaction to the ups and downs you experience while on the journey towards your goals.

Failure (which only really happens when you stop trying) or success is defined by your choices. You need to realize that where you are at in your life, how you deal with stress and how you face challenges is always the outcome of your choices.

At the most basic level your environment and emotional state drives those choices, be aware of who you surround yourself with and the habits that drive your day.

Most of the time struggles in the gym with workouts and food temptations have more to do with emotional resiliency than the workouts or meal plan. So it’s just as important to work on your emotional resiliency.

The 4 aspects of Emotional resiliency you’ll want to focus on are:

Self esteem

Gratitude

Mindset and an optimistic attitude

Living in line with your “why”

You can’t predict the number on the scale or the weeks, months or years it will take to reach your goals. But you can choose put yourself in a supportive environment, and you can choose to feel good about making a positive change to your health and fitness.

Take a good long look in the mirror because it’s time for you to take responsibility for your current situation.

You have set and accepted the standards and boundaries that have lead to your current level of health and fitness.

You have set the standard of allowing the exercise to be optional.

You have allowed eating out to become a daily occurrence instead of a weekly treat.

And you have allowed your portions to get out of control.

Sure, you have obstacles that get in your way – your schedule, your job, your kids, the weather, maybe even a knee injury from college…but ultimately you have the body that you accept.

I want to say that one more time so it can sink in.

You have the body that you accept.

And when you take responsibility for your current situation you take control. Whether your realize it or not you posses the ability to transform your body.

If I have sparked some strong emotions with what I’ve told you so far then let that empower you to get up and define your quality of life, your health and your fitness.

Don’t waste one more minute unhappy with your health or fitness because there is always something you can do right now to make a change.

Challenge yourself to make one small change today. Don’t wait or allow yourself to get stuck between inspiration and action. Because the time spent between your inspiration and your action determines whether you will succeed or fail.

If you need help along the way I am here for you. But before you reach out to me be very clear about what you’ll accept of yourself.

Want to know why people who are already fit and healthy can continue to crush the gym and eat healthy every single day? It’s because they focus on their potential NOT on their current fitness level, they’re always looking at what they are capable of doing and letting that drive them forward.

This is also tied to the standards they’ve set for themselves.

Living your own set of standards allows you to focus on your potential and the life you want to live.

No one can tell you what you’re capable of, so no goal or dream is out of reach. It doesn’t matter how many pounds or inches you need to lose, how many weeks, months or years its going to take, you have the potential to take yourself to that level and beyond.

If you focus on and believe in your own potential there is no limit to what you can accomplish and I promise you it will light a fire under you.
